NASCAR Cup Series

Michigan International Speedway serves as ‘home’ for Jack Roush and Roush Fenway Racing, located just an hour from Roush Industries in Livonia, Michigan. MIS has naturally been one of the organization’s most successful tracks on the circuit, with the team earning a total of 23 wins across NASCAR’s three major touring series.

Martin Truex Jr. doesn’t have to make amends. He is the reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion, who continues to be one of the top drivers this season. He is also coming off a stalwart runner-up finish in Sunday’s Watkins Glen International road race.

Michigan Preview: The Series returns to Michigan for Sunday’s race around the 2-mile oval in the Irish Hills where Denny Hamlin looks to improve upon his 12th-place finish captured earlier this season. Hamlin and #11 FedEx team have accumulated seven top-five and 11 top-10 finishes in 25 stops at the Brooklyn, Michigan track.

The anticipation is growing for Talladega Superspeedway’s NASCAR Playoff doubleheader weekend, Oct. 12-14, and the most coveted real estate in motorsports is filling up fast in the iconic infield. Officials at NASCAR’s most competitive track announced today that fewer than 30 reserved RV camping spots remain.

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will compete this weekend at Michigan International Speedway while the NASCAR XFINITY Series runs at Mid-Ohio on Saturday.

I believe one certain guy would agree with me “that was awesome, Bill from Dawsonville!” Watkins Glen was damned entertaining right from the start, thanks to the action and thanks to the best broadcast crew in the business.

1. Kyle Busch: Busch started second at Watkins Glen and led 31 laps before a fuel probe malfunction in the pits, necessitating an extra pit stop. Despite the issue, Busch recovered to post a third-place finish. "We just didn't get enough fuel in the tank," Busch said. "In other words, I had a 'halfsie.'"
